Ethan's car came to a stop in the circular driveway, the mansion towering above him, glowing softly in the evening light. Before he could even turn off the ignition, the front door swung open.

Lily was already outside, her face lighting up the moment she spotted him. "Ethan!" She called, voice full of delight as she hurried down the steps.

He stepped out of the car just in time to catch her in a quick, enthusiastic hug. Her arms wrapped around him without hesitation. Ethan tensed instinctively, but masked it with a calm expression, returning just enough warmth to avoid seeming distant.

Pulling back, Lily beamed at him. "I'm so glad you could make it." She said, brushing a curl behind her ear. "Come on, everyone's inside already. They've been looking forward to this.''

"One sec." Ethan said quietly, reaching into the backseat. He pulled out a carefully wrapped package. "This is for your parents."

Lily's eyes softened. "They'll love that." She said.

With a nod between them, they turned

    Alex and Bethany sat in a fancy cafe, the soft clinking of cups and warm light setting a cozy mood. Bethany couldn't stop smiling as she stared at Alex.Alex chuckled. "What's with the smile?"Bethany leaned on her hand. "I just didn't know you'd grow up this handsome. If I'd known, I would've married you back then."Alex laughed. "Oh really?" He shook his head, amused. "So, what's going on with you now? Top model, huh? I'm proud of you, look at how far you've come. You've turned into such an amazing person."Then he gave her a playful side glance. "But I'm surprised you're not with anyone. I thought you'd be married by now.""Married?" Bethany grinned, then playfully glared at him before sipping her coffee. She sighed. "There was someone... but it didn't work out." Alex sat up. "What happened?"Bethany looked down for a second, her voice softer. "I don't know... maybe I got too busy. I wasn't around much, and maybe that's why he cheated—found someone else."Alex frowned. "That's not

    The morning sun came through the curtains, filling the room with a soft light. Ethan moved a little and let out a low groan—his head was hurting. He sat up slowly and rubbed his forehead, trying to remember what happened last night."Alex..." He muttered, the memory flickering faintly.He turned to his side, and paused.There, on his nightstand, sat a bowl of soup and a glass of water. A small sticky note was attached to the glass. He furrowed his brow and peeled it off."Made you some hangover soup. Hope it helps. Also, there are some meals in the fridge, heat them up whenever you're ready. Thanks for spending time with me. Couldn't stay because I had to head to work early—Alex."Ethan blinked at the note, a soft smile forming on his lips. Without thinking, he reached over and opened the bedside drawer, gently placing the note inside like something valuable.He picked up the bowl of soup, still warm to the touch, and took a spoonful. The taste was rich, soothing, and exactly what he

    The car drove into Ethan's mansion, and Alex couldn't believe how big and beautiful the building was. The house was huge, with lots of windows and lights glowing softly around it. It looked like something from a movie—fancy, quiet, and impressive.Alex leaned forward slightly. "Your house looks great." He said, his voice carrying a mix of awe and restraint.Ethan smiled. "Thanks. Would you like to come in?"Alex hesitated. "I better not."Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Why not?""I should go home and get some rest.""You could rest here."Alex glanced at him, uncertain. Ethan's expression didn't change."I'd really like you to see the place." Ethan continued. Then after a beat. "Or are you scared?"Alex blinked. "Scared of what?"Ethan leaned closer, eyes searching. "Scared I'd do something to you? Or scared you'd do something to me?""I'm not going to do anything." Alex said quickly. "And I'm not scared."Ethan smirked. "Then prove it." He motioned toward the door. "Come in."Alex sighed,

    The elevator made a soft ding as the doors slid open. Alex stepped out, holding a small gift bag in one hand. He had just returned from his trip, and the first person he wanted to see was Ethan. Instead of calling, he'd decided to show up and surprise him. He remembered Ethan saying he'd be working late, though he wasn't sure if Ethan would still be around.As he walked down the hallway and saw the office lights still on, a smile crept onto his face.Alex quietly pushed open the door and stepped inside. The room was calm. Ethan was asleep at his desk, his head resting on his arms.Alex walked carefully toward him, trying not to make a sound. When he reached Ethan, he slowly got down on one knee and looked at his sleeping face."How long have you been working?" Alex whispered. "I told you not to push yourself too hard."He stared at Ethan's face—peaceful, soft. His heart thudded as his eyes drifted to Ethan's lips. They were full and pink, slightly parted. The urge to kiss him crept in

    At the breakfast table, Mr. George and Mrs. Carol sat quietly, sipping coffee and enjoying their morning. Just then, Lily walked in with a bright smile, she greeted her parents, and took her seat beside them."Guess what?" She said, her voice full of excitement. "Bethany's coming back—she'll be home in two days!"Both parents looked up, intrigued."I'm so happy." Lily continued. "It's been ages since I last saw her. I can't wait.""Hold on." Mrs. Carol furrowed her brow in confusion. "Bethany?" She asked, trying to recall the person, the name sounds familiar but she just can't remember clearly."I understand that it's been so long and that's why you can't remember her anymore. It's Bethany, Alex's childhood best friend, remember now? They were inseparable back then, like two peas in a pod.''Mrs. Carol's eyes widened with realization. "Bethany.... goodness, that girl practically lived in this house."Mr. George chuckled softly. "She and Alex were indeed inseparable back then."Lily no

    Ethan lay restless in bed, tossing and turning as frustration built inside him. Sleep was nowhere in sight.He finally sat up with a sigh. "Damn it." He muttered. "Why do I even care where he is or what he's doing? It's not my business. He can be with whoever he wants." His voice was bitter, but it didn't ease the ache.His eyes drifted to his phone on the bedside table. His fingers reached out, then hesitated. "I shouldn't call him." He whispered.But his mind wouldn't let go. Images of Alex being sweet with Caroline stirred something sharp and jealous in his chest. Before he could talk himself out of it, he grabbed the phone and hit call.Alex picked up right away. "Hello? Ethan?"Ethan's heart was pounding. For a moment, he couldn't speak."Ethan? You there?"He swallowed hard. "Yeah... I'm here."Alex's voice softened. "What's wrong? Why are you calling? Do you need something?""Where are you?" Ethan asked quietly.Alex sounded a little confused. "Home. Why?""I thought you were w
